Camino Finisterre: Santiago to the Atlantic

Begin your journey in the vibrant city of Santiago, where history whispers through the cobblestone streets. Settle into your hotel (or similar) and take the day to explore the enchanting Old Town. Marvel at the architectural grandeur of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, a beacon for pilgrims and travelers alike.

Leave the majestic cathedral behind as you embark on a scenic walk to the charming hamlet of Ponte Maceira. Cross the ancient stone bridge over the Tambre River, and continue your journey to the medieval village of Negreira. Enjoy the pastoral beauty and tranquility of the Galician countryside.

Immerse yourself in the serene rural landscapes of Galicia as you journey through agricultural regions. Pass by quaint villages and ancient churches, each telling its own story. Arrive in the small township of Olveiroa, where a warm welcome awaits at your cozy accommodation.

Traverse the mountains for your first breathtaking glimpse of the sea. Descend into the coastal village of Cee, and explore the nearby old town of Corcubion. Revel in the blend of mountain and maritime vistas that define this unique region.

Stroll along pristine beaches as you make your way to the fishing village of Finisterre. Continue to the iconic lighthouse at the cape, where the land meets the vast Atlantic. Spend the night in charming accommodations overlooking the ocean, reflecting on the journey to the 'end of the earth.'

For those extending their journey, walk from Finisterre through hamlets adorned with Romanesque architecture. Traverse rural landscapes to reach Punta do Rostro, and continue to Lires for an overnight stay. The following day, journey to Muxia, the final destination of the Camino, where your adventure concludes.
